Abstract: The invention is a pneumatically actuated energy collection device. The device includes a support which has an energy collector thereon. A shutter is slidably attached to the support and can be moved between a first "closed" position and a second "open" position. In its first position, the shutter covers the collector and in its second position, the shutter uncovers the collector. The shutter is biased into one of the positions. A chamber is disposed adjacent to the shutter so that when the chamber is pressurized, the shutter bias is overcome and the shutter is moved between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: This invention aims to provide a process for producing
an oxide-dispersion strengthened platinum material which
allows zirconium oxide to be more finely dispersed in a
platinum material, and to further improve creep strength in
an oxide-dispersion strengthened platinum material. This
invention provides a process for producing an oxide-dispersion
strengthened platinum material where zirconium
oxide is finely dispersed in platinum, wherein powdered
platinum is poured into water to prepare a platinum
suspension; a zirconium nitrate solution and an urea solution
are added in the platinum suspension for adjusting the
suspension to a given pH to precipitate zirconium hydroxide
and thus to form a zirconium hydroxide carrying platinum; the
zirconium hydroxide carrying platinum is collected, which is
then formed into a molding; the molding is sintered and forged
under the conditions whereby secondary recrystallization
growth in a platinum crystal proceeds, to form a platinum
ingot; and the platinum ingot is cold-rolled in a processing
rate of at least 70% and then the product is thermally
recrystallized.

Abstract: A camera of a camera-based image processing system is calibrated using a graphical user interface (GUI) of the system. A representation of an area in which the camera is to be operated is presented via the GUI, and calibration information is obtained for each of a set of one or more calibration points sequentially as the camera is pointed to corresponding positions in the area. For each of the one or more calibration points, the calibration information is obtained after a command is entered identifying a corresponding position of the calibration point within the representation of the area as presented via the GUI. An external calibration including camera position and orientation is then computed for the camera based on the calibration information obtained for the one or more calibration points.

Abstract: Un procédé de préparation d'une plaque d'impression destinée à l'impression consiste à appliquer une composition de fluide par jet d'encre sur un substrat, et ensuite à durcir le fluide appliqué au substrat. La composition de fluide est envoyée sous forme d'un jet sur le substrat à une température de jet T2. Le substrat est à une température Ts. La viscosité de la composition de fluide à la température Ts est d'environ au moins 300 fois supérieure à la viscosité du fluide à la température T2. L'invention réduit au minimum l'étalement de points qui autrement se produit lorsqu'un substrat reçoit une image par jet d'encre pour préparer une plaque d'impression.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinatorial processes for preparing an array of n aqueous polymer dispersions by emulsion polymerization and for preparing an array of m formulations of polymer dispersions, and also to the arrays themselves. The processes are conducted at n or m spatially separate locations for the n or m mixtures, respectively. To conduct the emulsion polymerization, monomers, initiator, dispersants and, if desired, further components are reacted with one another in water as the reaction medium. To prepare the formulations, aqueous polymer dispersions are mixed with other aqueous polymer dispersions and/or further components. With all processes, each of the n or m mixtures differs from every other mixture in at least one parameter in each case which may have an influence on the properties of the resultant polymer dispersions or formulations, respectively. The advantage of the invention is that by means of these processes it is possible rapidly to prepare and characterize a large number of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations. This leads to an acceleration in the development process for the preparation of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations having optimized properties.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne l'utilisation d'un antagoniste de TGF-β dans le traitement ou la prévention de la perte de la fonction rénale. Contrairement à la théorie actuelle selon laquelle les antagonistes de TGF-β pourraient être utiles dans le traitement de troubles fibro-prolifératifs des glomérules, on n'a observé aucune différence sensible en termes d'hypertrophie corticale, et singulièrement de lésion glomérulaire, chez un modèle animal génétique d'hypertension et de dysfonctionnement rénal traité avec un antagoniste anti-TGF-β par rapport à des animaux témoins. A l'inverse, la présente invention fait ressortir l'importance d'une fonction médullaire correcte, et plus particulièrement le rôle d'une lésion hypoxique médullaire dans le déclenchement et la progression de pathologies et de troubles du rein. Cette invention fait pour la première fois la démonstration qu'un antagoniste de TGF-ß empêche effectivement la perte de la circulation rénale vasculaire et atténue la lésion tubulaire de la substance médullaire du rein, de même qu'il empêche l'hypertension systémique. Par rapport à des animaux témoins, on a observé chez les animaux traités anti-TGF-β une moindre tension artérielle moyenne, une fibrose nettement plus faible des vasa recta, une lésion tubulaire médullaire inférieure nettement moins marquée et un débit sanguin médullaire sensiblement plus élevé.
